My eyelids do close completely, and I also am now very sensitive to bright sunlight. The scar on my left eye still feels tight, but I have no problem closing my eye all the way.
What feels pinchy? Your eyes or your scars? I had an upper bleph just about 2 years ago, and I still have very low tear production. When I feel like crying, I hardly get any tears. I've been meaning to go see an opthamologist about this. I'm worried my doctor inadvertently took out my tear glands.
Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
I had it done a couple of years ago, but from what I remember, it did take at least 3 months to wear off, and I think it happened within a couple of days. I couldn't wait for my eyes to get back to normal, but I still to this day believe that the botox permanently affected my eyebrows. I felt like the heaviness in my upper eyelids was made worse by it, and that my muscles never regained their original position and strength. Anyway, I have since then had upper eyelid surgery, and I'm happy with it.
Good luck to you.
Did you have an upper or lower bleph?
My eyes are already asymetrical. My right upper eyelid droops more than my left. This is pretty common. Most people I know who have upper eyelid sagging, their right eye sags more than the left.
Anyway, I am getting an upper bleph, and I expect the asymetry will still be there afterwards.
Good luck to you.
